Hi everyone, I need some advice concerning what type of camcorder to buy. I have been told I should get one that records on MiniDV format. I would like to spend no more than $500.I need something with really long battery life (I will be travelling off the beaten path)I am really not knowledgable at all so ANY advice, tips whatever are appreciatedAlso, are there any brands to avoid? Thanks in advance!

I got a cannon dv zr90 and it's about $500 american, probably less. For the price you pay, you get an honest to goodness decent camera. I'm very pleased with mine, and I regret to say that I payed about $1300 for that, a carrying case and a 3yr warranty. Heh, sucks to live in Canada, eh.

I think for someone new to the scene like me couldn't ask for much more than this. Perhaps maybe a better night light, but you can't ask for everything all in one package. Hope that helps a little.
